Hair pieces - the basics please... (Hair Replacement Systems)

posted by bigT, 07.12.2007, 11:47

Hi guys - some of you may recognise me from the other forums, i've had an HT but need some info on systems as ive explained below - all in-put welcome.

I have never posted in this section before so please be patient with a newbie!

I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a quick run down of the dos and dont's when researching, consulting, purchasing, and maintaining a hair system. The reason i ask is because i'm setting up a hair loss consultancy business and this is the one major area i am lacking in any great knowledge. Obviously if a client is interested in wearing a system i need to be able to give them the best, most ethical advice possible regarding their options.

Having had a transplant and used finasteride and other treatments/supplements i have a strong knowledge of these areas. However my sum research into systems was nearly four years ago when i consulted with Advanced Hair Studio in the UK, who were keen to shave my head and stick a system on top, or offer me laser therapy at extortionate rates. I think i had a lucky escape (especially given their persistent sales calls for months after).

From searching this forum it seems many advise purchasing on-line and doing self-maintenance, if anyone could list all the 'top' places to buy from and their pros/cons/differences it would be great. Im particulary in need of info on the best suppliers to UK as this is where im based. Also im sure many men at first atleast will prefer to go to a 'salon' like AHS or Hair club in the US, however is there a list of 'reputable/top salons' like in HT with Hasson&Wong/Shapiro/Armani/Cole/Feller, and ones to avoid like in HT we have the Bosley/MHR/Norton (UK) etc.

Also if someone could break down types of system and their differences would be great ie lace etc as my knowlede is very sketchy.

Sorry for the long post but any help is much appreciated and will help many others get the right advice if they are considering a system when i see them.

Thanks, bigT.
